41. Compulsory Question

Coca-Cola, the world's number one cola company, was forced to close its
operations and leave India in 1977 after the Janata Party came to power. In the
late 1970s and even in the late 1980s, India had a closed economy and
government intervention in the corporate sector was quite high.
The Janata Party government (1977-79) legislated that foreign enterprises
operating in any non-priority sector in India could not own more than a 40%
stake in the ventures. Coca-Cola was running its operations through a 100%
subsidiary at this time. Since it did not want to enter into a 40% partnership
with an Indian company and share its technology, it had to stop its operations
and leave the country.

2. Critically analyze the strategy adopted by Pepsi to sell itself to the Indian
